Friday Night Viewing at Kirby Storter Roadside Park (January 7, 2011)
On the Friday of the new moon from sunset till dawn, we will be out in the darkness observing the stars and capturing pictures of a few of the dim fuzzy objects in the sky above us. All members (with or without their telescopes) are encouraged to participate. This is an out-of-town setting in an unspoiled section of the Florida Everglades where mosquito repellent is an absolute necessity.
